1. Brief History of Plant

Ever widening gap between the power demand and its availability in the state of Punjab was one of
the basic reasons for envisaging a thermal plant at lehra mohabbat Distt. Bathinda. The others
favourable factors were low initial cost and generation period as compared to hydroelectric
generating stations, its good railway service and proximity to load centre.

Initially it was going to set up at Bathinda under GNDTP but the air force personal restricted
its set up at Bathinda hence plant shifted to Lehra Mohabbat about 22 Km from Bhatinda city. Later
this plant was approved as a separate autonomous body with its name as Guru Hargobind Thermal
Plant .The Construction of plant commenced in 1992.

It consists of 2 stages:-

Stage 1:-

First unit commissioned on 27/12/1997

Second unit commissioned on 16/10/1998

Stage 2:-

Third unit commissioned on 16/10/2008

Fourth unit commissioned on 31/01/2009

The capacity of both units of stage 1 is 210 MW each and that of stage 2 is 250 MW each. It meets
20-25% of total power requirement of Punjab. The main companies whose technology paved the
way for the plant are Tata Honeywell and BHEL in turbine and boiler control.

Introduction
Electrical energy management system ensures supply of energy to every consumer at all times at
rated voltage, frequency and specified waveform, at lowest cost and minimum environmental
degradation. The switchgear, protection and network automation are integral parts of the modern
energy management system and national economy

Modern 3 phase 50 Hz AC interconnected system has several conventional and non-conventional

power plants ,EHV AC and HVDC transmission system ,back to back HVDC coupling stations, HV
transmission network, substations, MV and LV distribution systems and connected electrical loads.

To fulfil these requirements, state of art, scientifically and technologically advanced substation is
required. The substation at GHTP has one 220 KV switchyard. There are four input units, two having a
capacity 210 MW and two others have capacity of 250 MW. The generated voltage is limited to 15.75
kV and 16.5 KV which is stepped up to 220 KV via generating transformer manufactured by BHEL. A
part of 15.75/16.5 KV supply is fed to unit auxiliary transformer, which is used to run the auxiliaries
of the plant.

After step up, the 220 KV output from the generator transformer is fed to either of the two bus bars
through relays and circuit breakers and these are connected to various feeders through various
equipments

What is an Electrical Substation?

"Electric Power is generated in Power Stations and transmitted to various cities and towns.

An electrical substation is a subsidiary station of an electricity generation, transmission and

distribution system where voltage is transformed from high to low or the reverse using transformers.
Electric power may flow through several substations between generating plant and consumer, and
may be changed in voltage in several steps.

The word substation comes from the days before the distribution system became a grid. The first
substations were connected to only one power station where the generator was housed, and were
subsidiaries of that power station.

12
Elements of a substation
Substations generally have switching, protection and control equipment and one or more
transformers. In a large substation, circuit breakers are used to interrupt any short-circuits or
overload currents that may occur on the network. Smaller distributions stations may use reclose
circuit breakers or fuses for protection of distribution circuits. Substations do not usually have
generators, although a power plant may have a substation nearby. Other devices such as power
factor correction capacitors and voltage regulators may also be located at a substation.

Substations may be on the surface in fenced enclosures, underground, or located in special- purpose
buildings. High-rise buildings may have several indoor substations. Indoor substations are usually
found in urban areas to reduce the noise from the transformers, for reasons of appearance, or to
protect switchgear from extreme climate or pollution conditions.

Where a substation has a metallic fence, it must be properly grounded (earthed) to protect people
from high voltages that may occur during a fault in the network. Earth faults at a substation can
cause a ground potential rise. Currents flowing in the Earth's surface during a fault can cause metal
objects to have a significantly different voltage than the ground under a person's feet; this touch
potential presents a hazard of electrocution.

Transmission substation:
A transmission substation connects two or more transmission lines. The simplest case is where all
transmission lines have the same voltage. In such cases, the substation contains high-voltage
switches that allow lines to be connected or isolated for fault clearance or maintenance. A
transmission station may have transformers to convert between two transmission voltages, voltage
control devices such as capacitors, reactors or static VAr compensator and equipment such as phase
shifting transformers to control power flow between two adjacent power systems.

Transmission substations can range from simple to complex. A small "switching station" may be little
more than a bus plus some circuit breakers. The largest transmission substations can cover a large
area (several acres/hectares) with multiple voltage levels, many circuit breakers and a large amount
of protection and control equipment (voltage and current transformers, relays and SCADA systems).

Distribution substation:
A distribution substation transfers power from the transmission system to the distribution system of
an area. It is uneconomical to directly connect electricity consumers to the high-voltage main
transmission network, unless they use large amounts of power, so the distribution station reduces
voltage to a value suitable for local distribution.

The input for a distribution substation is typically at least two transmission or sub transmission lines.
Input voltage may be, for example, 115 kV, or whatever is common in the area. The output is a
number of feeders. Distribution voltages are typically medium voltage, between 2.4 and 33 kV
depending on the size of the area served and the practices of the local utility.

Brief description of all outdoor Equipments:

Bus Bars
Bus bar is a term used for main bar of conductor carrying an electric current to which many
connections can be made. These are mainly convenient means of connecting switches and other
equipments into various arrangements.

At GHTP there are two 220 KV bus bars and two 66 KV bus bars which are made of aluminium. All
incoming and outgoing supplies are connected through the bus bars.

Specifications:

Minimum short circuit current in bus bars 40 KV

Minimum phase to phase clearance 2.5 M
Number of horizontal levels of tubular bus bar/flexible bus bars 2.0 M
Height of tubular bus-bar of first level above ground 6 m
Height of tubular bus-bar of second level above ground 4 m
Tubular aluminium bus bar AL ASTMB241 4"IPS (International pipe standard)

Lighting Arrestors
These are equipments designed to protect insulators of power lines and electrical installations from
lightning surges by diverting the surge to earth.

High Voltage Power System experiences over voltages that arise due to
natural lightning or the inevitable switching operations. Under these
overvoltage conditions, the insulation of the power system equipments is
subjected to electrical stress which may lead to catastrophic failure.
Broadly, three types of overvoltage occur in power systems: (i) temporary
over-voltages, (ii) switching over voltages and (iii) lightning overvoltage.
The duration of these over voltages vary in the ranges of microseconds to
sec depending upon the type and nature of overvoltage. Hence, the power
system calls for overvoltage protective devices to ensure the reliability.

Conventionally, the overvoltage protection is obtained by the use of lightning / surge arresters.
Under normal operating voltages, the impedance of lightning arrester, placed in parallel to the
equipment to be protected, is very high and allow the equipment to perform its respective function.
Whenever the overvoltage appears across the terminals, the impedance of the arrester collapses in
such a way that the power system equipment would not experience the overvoltage. As soon as the
overvoltage disappears, the arrester recovers its impedance back. Thus the arrester protects the
equipment from overvoltage.

The technology of lightning arresters has undergone major transitions during this century. In the
early part of the century, spark gaps were used to suppress this overvoltage. The silicon carbide
gapped arresters replaced the spark gaps in 1930 and reigned supreme till 1970. During the mid
1970s, zinc oxide (ZnO) gapless arresters, possessing superior protection characteristics, replaced the

15
silicon carbide gapped arresters. Usage of ZnO arresters have increased the reliability of power
systems many fold.

Current Transformer
In electrical engineering, a current transformer (CT) is used for measurement of electric currents.
Current transformers, together with voltage transformers (VT) (potential transformers (PT)), are
known as instrument transformers. When current in a circuit is too high to directly apply to
measuring instruments, a current transformer produces a
reduced current accurately proportional to the current in
the circuit, which can be conveniently connected to
measuring and recording instruments. A current
transformer also isolates the measuring instruments from
what may be very high voltage in the monitored circuit.
Current transformers are commonly used in metering and
protective relays in the electrical power industry.

Current transformers are used extensively for measuring

current and monitoring the operation of the power grid. Along with voltage leads, revenue-grade CTs
drive the electrical utility's watt-hour meter on virtually every building with three-phase service and
single-phase services greater than 200 amp.

The CT is typically described by its current ratio from primary to secondary. Often, multiple CTs are
installed as a "stack" for various uses. For example, protection devices and revenue metering may
use separate CTs to provide isolation between metering and protection circuits, and allows current
transformers with different characteristics (accuracy, overload performance) to be used for the
devices.

Care must be taken that the secondary of a current transformer is not disconnected from its load
while current is flowing in the primary, as the transformer secondary will attempt to continue driving
current across the effectively infinite impedance. This will produce a high voltage across the open
secondary (into the range of several kilovolts in some cases), which may cause arcing. The high
voltage produced will compromise operator and equipment safety and permanently affect the
accuracy of the transformer.

Potential Transformer
These are used to step do the voltage to a level that the potential coils of indicating and monitoring
instruments can read. These are also used to feed the potential coils of relays. The primary winding is
connected to the voltage being measured and the secondary winding to a voltmeter. The PT steps
down the voltage to the level of the voltmeter.

16
Power Transformer

These are used to step up down the voltage from one ac voltage to another ac voltage level at the
same frequency. In GHTP there are 2 power transformer located in substation which converts 220 KV
to 66 KV of power 100 MVA each.

Losses in the transformer are of the order of 1% of its full load kW rating. These losses get converted in
the heat thereby the temperature of the windings, core, oil and the tank rises. The heat is dissipated from
the transformer tank and the radiator in to the atmosphere. Transformer cooling helps in maintaining the
temperature rise of various parts within permissible limits. In case of Transformer, Cooling is provided by
the circulation of the oil. Transformer Oil acts as both insulating material and also cooling medium in the
transformer. For small rating transformers heat is removed from the transformer by natural thermal
convection. For large rating transformers this type of cooling is not sufficient, for such applications forced
cooling is used.
As size and rating of the transformer increases, the losses increase at a faster rate. So oil is circulated in
the transformer by means of oil pumps. Within the tank the oil is made to flow through the space
between the coils of the windings.

Several different combination of natural, forced, air, oil transformer cooling methods are available. The
choice of picking the right type of transformer cooling method for particular application depends on the
factors such as rating, size, and location.

17
Wave Trap
Line trap also is known as Wave trap. What it does is trapping the high frequency communication
signals sent on the line from the remote substation and diverting
them to the telecom/teleportation panel in the substation control
room.

This is relevant in Power Line Carrier Communication (PLCC)

systems for communication among various substations without
dependence on the telecom company network. The signals are
primarily teleportation signals and in addition, voice and data
communication signals.

The Line trap offers high impedance to the high frequency

communication signals thus obstructs the flow of these signals in to the substation bus bars. If there
were not to be there, then signal loss is more and communication will be ineffective/probably
impossible.

Indicating and Metering Instruments

Ammeters, voltmeters, wattmeters, KWhr meters and KVar meters are installed in substation to work
over the currents flowing in the circuits and the voltages and power loads.

Circuit breaker
Circuit breakers are mechanical devices designed to close and open contact
or electrical circuit under normal or abnormal conditions. CB is equipped with
a strip coil directly attached to relay or other means to operate in abnormal
conditions such as over power etc

In GHTP 3 types of circuit breakers are used. SF6 C.B.is used to control 220 KV
in switchyard. Vacuum C.B. is used to control 6.6 KV in switchgear and Air
blast C.B. are used to control 415 V in switchgear.

A circuit breaker is an automatically-operated electrical switch designed to

protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit.
Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting continuity,
to immediately discontinue electrical flow. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then has to be
replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal
operation. Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual
household appliance up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an
entire city. Once a fault is detected, contacts within the circuit breaker must open to interrupt the
circuit; some mechanically-stored energy (using something such as springs or compressed air)
contained within the breaker is used to separate the contacts, although some of the energy required
may be obtained from the fault current itself.

18
Small circuit breakers may be manually operated; larger units have solenoids to trip the mechanism,
and electric motors to restore energy to the springs.

The circuit breaker contacts must carry the load current without excessive heating, and must also
withstand the heat of the arc produced when interrupting the circuit. Contacts are made of copper
or copper alloys, silver alloys, and other materials. When a current is interrupted, an arc is generated.
This arc must be contained, cooled, and extinguished in a controlled way, so that the gap between
the contacts can again withstand the voltage in the circuit. Different circuit breakers use vacuum, air,
insulating gas or oil as the medium in which the arc forms. Different techniques are used to
extinguish the arc including:

 Lengthening of the arc

 Intensive cooling (in jet chambers)
 Division into partial arcs
 Zero point quenching (Contacts open at the zero current time crossing of the AC
waveform, effectively breaking no load current at the time of opening. The zero crossing
occurs at twice the line frequency i.e. 100 times per second for 50Hz ac and 120 times
per second for 60Hz ac )
 Connecting capacitors in parallel with contacts in DC circuits

Finally, once the fault condition has been cleared, the contacts must again be closed to restore
power to the interrupted circuit.

Capacitor Voltage transformer (CVT)

In high and extra high voltage transmission systems, capacitor voltage transformers (CVTs) are used
to provide potential outputs to metering instruments and protective relays. In addition, when
equipped with carrier accessories, CVTs can be used for power line carrier (PLC) coupling.

A capacitor voltage transformer (CVT) is a transformer used in power systems to

step-down extra high voltage signals and provide low voltage signals either for
measurement or to operate a protective relay. In its most basic form the device
consists of three parts: two capacitors across which the voltage signal is split, an
inductive element used to tune the device to the supply frequency and a
transformer used to isolate and further step-down the voltage for the
instrumentation or protective relay. The device has at least four terminals, a high-
voltage terminal for connection to the high voltage signal, a ground terminal and at
least one set of secondary terminals for connection to the instrumentation or protective relay. CVTs
are typically single-phase devices used for measuring voltages in excess of one hundred kilovolts
where the use of voltage transformers would be uneconomical. In practice the first capacitor, C1, is
often replaced by a stack of capacitors connected in series. This results in a large voltage drop across
the stack of capacitors that replaced the first capacitor and a comparatively small voltage drop across
the second capacitor C2 and hence the secondary terminals.

Isolator

19
In electrical engineering, a disconnecter or isolator switch is used to make sure that an electrical
circuit can be completely de-energized for service or maintenance. Such switches are often found in
electrical distribution and industrial applications where machinery must have its source of driving
power removed for adjustment or repair. High-voltage isolation switches are used in electrical
substations to allow isolation of apparatus such as circuit breakers and transformers, and
transmission lines, for maintenance.

In the substation following type isolators are used for the protection:

Horizontal break centre rotating double break isolator:

This type of construction has three insulator stacks per pole. The two one each side is fixed and one
at the centre is rotating type. The central
insulator stack can swing about its vertical axis
through 900 . The fixed contacts are provided on
the top of each of the insulator stacks on the
side. The contact bar is fixed horizontally on the
central insulator stack. In closed position, the
contact shaft connects the two fixed contacts.
While opening, the central stack rotates through
900 and the contact shaft swings horizontally
giving a double break.

The isolators are mounted on a galvanized rolled

steel frame. The three poles are interlocked by
means of steel shaft. A common operating mechanism is provided for all the three poles. One pole of
a triple pole isolator is closed position.

Pantograph isolator:

Illustrates the construction of a typical

pantograph isolator. While closing, the
linkages of pantograph are brought nearer
by rotating the insulator column. In closed
position the upper two arms of the
pantograph close on the overhead station
bus bar giving a grip. The current is carried
by the upper bus bar to the lower bus bar
through the conducting arms of the
pantograph. While opening, the rotating
insulator column is rotated about its axis.
Thereby the pantograph blades collapse in vertical plane and vertical isolation is obtained between
the line terminal and pantograph upper terminal.

Pantograph isolators cover less floor area. Each pole can be located at a suitable point and the three
poles need not be in one line, can be located in a line at desired angle with the bus axis.

20
Isolator with earth switches (ES):

The instrument current transformer (CT) steps down the current of a circuit to a lower value and is
used in the same types of equipment as a potential transformer. This is done by constructing the
secondary coil consisting of many turns of wire, around the primary coil, which contains only a few
turns of wire. In this manner, measurements of high values of current can be obtained. A current
transformer should always be short-circuited when not connected to an external load. Because the
magnetic circuit of a current transformer is designed for low magnetizing current when under load,
this large increase in magnetizing current will build up a large flux in the magnetic circuit and cause
the transformer to act as a step-up transformer, inducing an excessively high voltage in the
secondary when under no load.

The main use of using the earth switch (E/S) is to ground the extra voltage which may be dangerous
for any of the instrument in the substation.

Capacitor bank:

A capacitor bank is a grouping of several identical capacitors interconnected in parallel or in series

with one another. These groups of capacitors are typically used to correct or counteract undesirable
characteristics, such as power factor lag
or phase shifts inherent in alternating
current (AC) electrical power
supplies. Capacitor banks may also be
used in direct current (DC) power
supplies to increase stored energy and
improve the ripple current capacity of
the power supply.

Transformer yard

21
Generator Transformers
The generator transformer is the first essential component for energy transmission, allowing
energy supplied by the generator to be transferred to the network at the required voltage.

To transmit power to various stations, we have to step down current because there are I 2 R losses in
transmission line. To do this, generator transformer is used. Power from each generator is stepped up
to 220 KV by 250/315 MVA 50 Hz 3-phase 15.75/220 or 16.5/220 KV generator transformer with off
load tap charger. There is one Generator transformer for each unit.

Station Transformer

In general station transformer is used for supplying power to auxiliary equipment in the power plant
when the plant is not generating any power. Station Transformer takes power from grid at 220 KV
and steps it down to 6.6 KV. Rated KVA corresponds to the load of common auxiliaries of the station.

22
This corresponds to the 10% to 15% of the rating of the generating power. These transformers are
Outdoor type.

Unit Auxiliary Transformer

The Purpose of Unit auxiliary Transformer is to feed power to generator auxiliaries of that unit. These
transformers are connected to generators and are used as stepping down transformers. The HV side
transformer voltage corresponds to the voltage of the generating unit and the LV side voltage is
stepped down to 6.6KV. Rated KVA of Unit Auxiliary Transformers is approximately 15% of the
generating rating. Usually these transformers are outdoor transformers. One Unit auxiliary
transformer is present for every generating unit.
